On CAPS, 94% of the 2,158 members who have rated Qualcomm believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward. These bulls include tbittker and IvorSicula.

Late last year, tbittker noted that Qualcomm's "chips are essential for virtually all mobile Internet devices (both tabs and phones)." Our CAPS member continues: "Dividend is growing along with revenue and profits. My No. 1 tech pick on a reward/risk basis."

Qualcomm even boasts a robust three-year average operating margin of 32%. That's higher than that of competitors Broadcom (7.6%), Nokia (8.7%), and Texas Instruments (24.7%).

CAPS member IvorSicula lists several of the tailwinds working in Qualcomm's favor:

CDMA licensing still going strong, SnapDragon becoming more pervasive in the mobile space with a well defined roadmap moving forward, buyout of Atheros is a good move and complimentary to their current businesses, [Microsoft/Nokia] tie-in means Windows phones at Nokia, who let's not forget still have the largest market share ... Apple putting out the CDMA iPhone on [Verizon] etc. all means that life looks rosy for Qualcomm for the foreseeable future.
